I have the common dwarf myrtle, M. communis 'Compacta,' with dark green
narrow pointed leaves, pronounced dwarf habit, foliage somewhat pungent when
pinched.
I also have a young plant I received from Forestfarm as dwarf myrtle. The
leaves are about the same size, a slightly lighter shade of green, more oval &
less pointed. Growth is dwarfish, but perhaps not quite as dense. Most
notably, crushed leaves have a very intense distinct scent of lavender. Does anybody
know the correct name of this cultivar?
Thank you,
Iris Cohen
